Quizfrage

Is it called Otrobanda or Otrabanda (the district of Willemstad)?

Antwort

Both are correct!

In the literal translation from the local language Papiamentu, Otrobanda means the “other side”. It doesn’t matter whether you say Otrobanda or Otrabanda, confirms Pablo from Iguana Ride, who offers city tours on e-scooters through the various districts.

Otrabanda is the district of Willemstad that lies opposite Punda. The St. Annabaai strait separates the two districts. How do you get across? The Queen Emma Bridge is for pedestrians, and the Queen Juliana Bridge is for all motor vehicles.

The picture shows the Briónplein in Otrobanda/Otrabanda with the flag of Curacao.

The Briónplein is located in Otrobanda or Otrabanda

  • Quiz Question

    What is a Kunuku?

    Answer

    A Kunuku is a traditional house, usually with a door in the middle, a window on the left and right and a roof made of corn stalks or corrugated iron. With a little imagination, the facades of the simple farmhouses look like faces.

    As you drive across the island, you will see them again and again at the side of the road, some in ruins, some renovated. Slaves used to live in Kunukus.

    In the Kas di pal’i maishi outdoor museum, just past Barber on the way to Tera Korá, you can learn all about the houses.
